The name PassSync would indicate that this utility synchronizes
passwords, can anything else be sync'd? I need to be able to sync all of
the following: users, groups, systems, email addresses, and passwords, etc.
Can PassSync do all that? If not is there another utility you might
recommend, either using FDS or not?

Hi,
Currently, I'm doing all my lab testing using Fedora Directory
Server 1.0.4 under RHES4 Advanced Server, but once all the lab tests are
done we are going to purchase RHDS (it's too expensive to buy a RHDS
copy only to do lab testing right now).
Does someone knows if there are any technnical differences between
FDS and RHDS ? Are there know technnical limitations in RHDS that FDS
doesn't have or vice-versa ?
Regards,

Hello,
In my fedora-ds the follow error is showed when i try to create an account (people or machine account). I searched in Google and in the forum of fedora-ds and i did not find something that could solve the problem. Some tip to help me?
Thanks,

Hello,
First of all, I would like to tell you all that that this is my very
first message to this mailing list so please be patient with me for a
while and sorry for the possibly dull questions.
Also, it's important to let you guys know that I already learnt a
lot only by searching the list archives. Thanks :-) I tried each and
every bit I found online (be it by reading the enormous amount of
documentation under http://directory.fedoraproject.org/ or by reading
the mailing list archives) and couldn't get Windows Sync using SSL to
work yet.
What I have now :
1) Fedora Directory Server 1.0.4 running under a REd Hat Enterprise
Linux 4 Advanced Server Update 5, installed from the
fedora-ds-1.0.4-1.RHEL4.i386.opt.rpm package. This host is named
fds.aw2.local.
2) Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition running a locally Active
Directory set up only for testing. This host is named adserver.aw2.local.
I already installed PassSync (from
http://directory.fedoraproject.org/download/PassSync-20060330.msi) in
the Windows Server 2003 and already have it configured to use the
following information :
Host name : fds.aw2.local
Port number : 636
User name : uid=replication, cn=config
Password : 123456
Cert Token : 123456
Search base : dc=aw2, dc=local
uid=replication is a user I added to FDS, under cn=config. Cert
token is the correct certificate token and search base is the correct
search base as well.
I can create a Windows Sync Agreement and have it doing
synchronization both from AD to FDS and from FDS to AD, but only when
using a non-SSL connection. But, in this case, as you all know, I don't
get users passwords sychronized.
I thin I got both AD and FDS SSL setup right as I can use "Active
Directory Administration Tool (ldp.exe)" to connect to AD on port 636
(SSL) correctly and I can use an ldapsearch from the FDS machine to the
FDS directory using SSL correctly as well.
The only problem I'm getting is whenever I try to set up a Windows
Sync Agreement using SSL I get the following error message on my FDS
LDAP error log (/opt/fedora-ds/slapd-fds/logs/error, in my case) :
[18/May/2007:08:52:40 -0300] NSMMReplicationPlugin - agmt="cn=sync"
(adserver:636): Simple bind failed, LDAP sdk error 81 (Can't contact
LDAP server), Netscape Portable Runtime error -8179 (Peer's Certificate
issuer is not recognized.)
I have the following configured regarding certificates in the AD
host ("certutil.exe -d . -L" output running from C:\Program Files\Red
Hat Directory Password Synchronization\) :
CA certificate CT,C,C
Server-Cert Pu,Pu,Pu
Isn't this certificate database the one which is being used when a
Windows Sync Agreement is set up ? Anyway, I already also tried the
following :
1) Import the FDS certificate using :
cd /opt/fedora-ds/alias
/opt/fedora-ds/shared/bin/pk12util -d . -P slapd-fds- -o servercert.pfx
-n Server-Cert
2) Import it into AD certificate snap-in in Windows Microsoft Management
Console and reboot.
No luck with this also. I have read and re-read every single bit of
documentation I could find about the topic and I have no problem reading
more if you guys ask me to RTFM. Just point me to the "fine" manual :-)

Hi,
Am switching over from OpenLDAP to Fedora DS.
The Java code that was creating user entries in OpenLDAP isn't working with
Fedora DS and I thought perhaps the reason would be obvious to someone out there.
This is what was working with OpenLDAP:
dirContext = new InitialDirContext(anonymousEnv);
// need to be administrator to do this
dirContext.addToEnvironment(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, ADMIN_DN);
dirContext.addToEnvironment(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,ADMIN_PWD);
// ref: RFC 2798
// the inetOrgPerson represents people who are associated with an organization in some way.
// mandatory attributes for inetOrgPerson are: cn, objectClass, sn
Attribute ocAttr = new BasicAttribute("objectClass", "top");
ocAttr.add("person");
ocAttr.add("organizationalPerson");
ocAttr.add("inetOrgPerson");
// create the attribute set
Attributes attrs = new BasicAttributes(true); // as LDAP attribute names are case-insensitive
attrs.put(ocAttr);
attrs.put("cn", username);
attrs.put("sn", username); // not relevant but mandatory and can't put "" in there
attrs.put("userPassword", password);
attrs.put("uid", uid);
// create entry in directory
logger.debug("About to create subcontext: "+dn);
accountContext = dirContext.createSubcontext(dn, attrs);
Error I'm getting with Fedora DS at the last line of that code is:
javax.naming.AuthenticationException: [LDAP: error code 49 - Invalid Credentials]
Have tried with ldapadd from the command line to create a user entry with all the same values and
that works ok, so I'm a bit puzzled why the code doesn't work here.
If anyone has any ideas, would appreciate them.
Thanks,
Derek

Thanks Patrick, I tested this with a copy of my slave FDS instance on a
VMware box first and it worked fine.
Did it again on the *real* slave server and all is well. Once again, I
have master and slave FDS boxes, without having to resort to using my
backups :)
Thanks again
Dan

So, I keep doing a clean install of fds 1.0.4 on a rhel4 box, and it
fails. I'm trying to set up a replica. It connects to the master
configuration server. In fact, the entire setup script goes swimmingly
and all looks fine. Then:
==
Created new Directory Server
Start Slapd Starting Slapd server configuration.
Success Slapd Added Directory Server information to Configuration Server.
Configuring Administration Server...
Setting up Administration Server Instance...
ERROR: Administration Server configuration failed.
You can now use the console. Here is the command to use to start the
console:
==
And the result is a non-functioning console. Any ideas?
